NS Records

The Name Servers of a domain show the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The IP of the web site (A record), the mail server that handles the emails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so on are taken from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain name to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a website, for example, and you enter the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the web site is retrieved, so you can view the content from the correct location. Ordinarily a domain name has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is simply visual.

The outstanding Hepsia Control Panel, included with with our hosting packages, will enable you to handle the name servers of every single domain registered through us with simply a few clicks, so even if you have never had a website hosting plan or a domain before, you won't encounter any issues. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, has a very user-friendly interface and it'll allow you to change the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domain addresses together. In addition we provide you with the opportunity to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each domain name registered inside the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IPs - either ours, if you will use the child NS to direct the domain name to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party provider if you'll use the new records to forward the domain address to their system. Different from other providers, we don't charge extra for providing this additional DNS management service.

If you go for a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you're going to be able to control the NS records of any domain address registered in it easily. The Hepsia CP, which is in essence an all-in-one tool where you can handle everything relevant to your web presence, comes with a very simple and user-friendly interface. The section where you will find all of your domains isn't an exception, so even if you have not had a domain address and a web hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones won't take you more than a few clicks. You are also going to be able to see with a glance what name servers each and every one of your domain addresses uses currently and if they're the ones required to direct that domain name to the semi-dedicated account. As an added feature, we present you with opportunity to set up child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com at no extra cost. This will give more credibility to your web site, particularly if it's a business one, and you could use these name servers for any other domain address that you would like to host inside the semi-dedicated account as well.
